#Q2Learn
Students driving their thinking & learning through “Q”uestioning; the essence of an innovative learning environment The Common Core standards are all about staking a “Claim” and finding “Evidence”. Is that enough? Or do students also need to ask questions, identify problems and share thinking? Students making their own meaning is not a new idea, but the advent of the Internet has reintroduced it as a growing tenet of innovative and thoughtful learning environments. Today our challenge is to determine how to provide learners the time, confidence and mental space to create meaning. Inspired by Danielson’s Framework for Teaching and the International Baccalaureate Learner Profile, this session is specifically designed to consider effective questioning techniques and student-led discussion strategies as vehicles for advancing student learning rather than for assessing or checking their understanding. Join us as we explore strategies and share resources for developing learning routines:
to make students’ questions and thinking more accessible for exploring, discussing, connecting and synthesizing
to enhance student-led discussions where all students are engaged in the conversation and thinking
to nurture a learning culture of inquirers, thinkers, communicators and risk takers

Welcome to our thinking session: learners & leaders
How and how often are learners encouraged/expected to revise their questions? Their thinking?
When, as an instructor/facilitator/leader, do we ensure time and space to leverage student questions?
What kind of online tools and digital environments support student development of collecting, categorizing, organizing, synthesizing, keeping track of and revising questioning skills?
